KB SSL Enforcer

Automatic security, browse encrypted.

What is KB SSL Enforcer?

"KB SSL Enforcer" is a Chrome extension developed by KB IT that automatically enforces the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on sites that support it, providing an added layer of security and privacy to your browsing experience. It detects SSL support on your first visit to a page and enforces all subsequent visits to run on SSL. Notably effective on insecure networks, the extension also features SSL support caching and flexible override options. It's open source and respects incognito mode.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension enforces encryption for websites that support it as much as currently possible in Chrome. This gives you added security and privacy for your browsing automatically and transparently. This is particularly important on insecure networks, such as public wifi in e.g. coffee shops and hotels.

It is not completely secure against the infamous Firesheep, but it does minimize the risk greatly. See the section on complete enforcement for technical details and more on when this will be possible.

Features:

Automatically detects if a site supports SSL (TLS) and enforces all subsequent requests to be over SSL
As soon as a domain is set to be enforce, the browser will not send any unencrypted requests for that domain (unless the site deliberately enforces not using encryption, see the section on complete enforcement)
Flexible options for overriding the auto-detection
Caches which sites support SSL (respects incognito mode)
Open source (GPLv2 or later)
